Installing Windows 7 Ultimate to a VM. Should at least get an idea of features, if not performance. #
Now dual booting Win 7 and Vista. Experience scores dropped a little, still looks unpolished, trying to find commonly used areas. #
Getting more familiar with windows 7. Text size was at 150% be default. Couldn’t figure out why everything so large on my 1920×1200 screen. #
has a clear inbox! Ya! #
So much to do, so little time. #
http://twitpic.com/542et – Best. Comment thread. Ever. #
Wow. A “You won the lottery” email phishing attempt actually made it past my gMail spam filter. Rare. #
Rarely does a 10 day forecast in Oregon not include rain at some point. Currently not disappointing. #
